BSFC

Now those ominous letters stand for Birkenhead Sixth Form College which is where I will be attending to study my A levels in September! BSFC is a fantastic college that makes a great step between normal school (not that I went.....home for me) and University. I will be studying Drama and Theater Studies, Geography, English Language, and I still haven't decided between Psychology and Sociology. I am really excited but also apprehensive as this will be my first proper experience of secular education. I am really inspired that I will be able to use the college as a mission field as well as an educational space. The potential in BSFC for Christian input and relational mission is HUGE so please pray that I would be wise in knowing what the needs of the students are and be able to serve them according to those needs. Also, please pray as I learn what it is like in a completely secular environment with teachers who aren't one of my parents ( as it is normally in home-schooling) I am really excited for my subjects but nervous that the style of learning and work load might be a bit over whelming at the start. 
September will be full of new experiences!!

Change of Honduras Plans

I have been praying and thinking about my planned mission trip. After discussing with many people, God has seemed to make himself clear. I have realized that my timing has been wrong. I have been so enthusiastic and excited that I have ignored signs of waiting instead of rushing into going to Honduras. I am gutted but realize that God's plans are always better that our own. I believed I had discerned God's will correctly but I think He was saying all along lets just wait a bit longer. I'm gutted that I won't be going this year but feel it is right to wait until next year. 

This change is really hard to get used to after such a long time thinking, praying and planning. I'm finding it quite difficult to understand why God seemed to be calling me to this and then at the last minute pull on the reigns. I hope in time it will become clear and I am confident I will learn a lot from this whole experience. I am still hoping to go next year if the timing is right so please continue to pray. Thank you all for the support you have already given me! It means so much to know that people are praying for me.
